tooltip aesthetic
First, create an interactive ggplot object with geom_dotplot_interactive()
ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = MATHS)) +
geom_dotplot_interactive(
aes(tooltip = ID),
stackgroups = TRUE,
binwidth = 1,
method = "histodot") +
scale_y_continuous(NULL,
breaks = NULL)
Next, use girafe() to create an interactive svg object: student’s ID displayed when mouse pointer hover on a data point of interest
p <- ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = MATHS)) +
geom_dotplot_interactive(
aes(tooltip = ID),
stackgroups = TRUE,
binwidth = 1,
method = "histodot") +
scale_y_continuous(NULL,
breaks = NULL)
girafe(
ggobj = p,
width_svg = 6,
height_svg = 6*0.618
)Display multiple information on tooltip
Include a list object in the content of the tooltip.
exam_data$tooltip <- c(paste0(
"Name = ", exam_data$ID,
"\n Class = ", exam_data$CLASS))
p <- ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = MATHS)) +
geom_dotplot_interactive(
aes(tooltip = exam_data$tooltip),
stackgroups = TRUE,
binwidth = 1,
method = "histodot") +
scale_y_continuous(NULL,
breaks = NULL)
girafe(
ggobj = p,
width_svg = 8,
height_svg = 8*0.618
)Customize tooltip style Use opts_tooltip() of ggiraph to customize tooltip rendering by adding ccs declarations
tooltip_css <- "background-color:white; #<<
font-style:bold; color:black;" #<<
p <- ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = MATHS)) +
geom_dotplot_interactive(
aes(tooltip = ID),
stackgroups = TRUE,
binwidth = 1,
method = "histodot") +
scale_y_continuous(NULL,
breaks = NULL)
girafe(
ggobj = p,
width_svg = 6,
height_svg = 6*0.618,
options = list( #<<
opts_tooltip( #<<
css = tooltip_css)) #<<
) Display statistics on tooltip
tooltip <- function(y, ymax, accuracy = .01) {
mean <- scales::number(y, accuracy = accuracy)
sem <- scales::number(ymax - y, accuracy = accuracy)
paste("Mean maths scores:", mean, "+/-", sem)
}
gg_point <- ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = RACE),
) +
stat_summary(aes(y = MATHS,
tooltip = after_stat(
tooltip(y, ymax))),
fun.data = "mean_se",
geom = GeomInteractiveCol,
fill = "light blue"
) +
stat_summary(aes(y = MATHS),
fun.data = mean_se,
geom = "errorbar", width = 0.2, size = 0.2
)Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.girafe(ggobj = gg_point,
width_svg = 8,
height_svg = 8*0.618)Hover effect with data_id aesthetic
Default value hover_css=“fill:orange;”
p <- ggplot(data=exam_data,

geom_dotplot_interactive(

girafe(
ggobj = p,
width_svg = 6,
height_svg = 6*0.618
) Style hover effect
p <- ggplot(data=exam_data,
aes(x = MATHS)) +

stackgroups = TRUE,

method = "histodot") +

) Combine tooltip and hover effect

ggplotly(p)Coordinated multiple view with plotly
Highlight_key() of plotly package is used as shared data. Two scatterplots will be created by using ggplot2 functions. Lastly, subplot() of plotly package is used to place them next to each other side-by-side.
d <- highlight_key(exam_data)
p1 <- ggplot(data=d,

y = ENGLISH)) +
geom_point(size=1) +

Getting Started
Install and load R packages
pacman::p_load(readxl, gifski, gapminder,
plotly, gganimate, tidyverse)Import data

Build a static population bubble plot

size = Population,
colour = Country)) +

scale_size(range = c(2, 12)) +

y = '% Young') 
Build the animated bubble plot
transition_time() of gganimate is used to create transition through distinct states in time (i.e. Year). ease_aes() is used to control easing of aesthetics. The default is linear. Other methods are: quadratic, cubic, quartic, quintic, sine, circular, exponential, elastic, back, and bounce.

size = Population,
colour = Country)) +
